A war is brewing in the new teasers for His Dark Materials season 2. The HBO series, which the network is hoping will be its next must-see series after Game of Thrones and Westworld, picks up with the second novel by author Philip Kaufman, The Subtle Knife. It finds young Lyra Belacqua (Dafne Keen) in an all-new, all-different world, with the dangers as great as ever.
Last season ended with Lyra chasing her duplicitous father, Lord Asriel (James McAvoy), into the realm of Cittàgazze, where there is a war brewing. She’s found a new ally in Will Parry (Amir Wilson), a boy who she shares a mysterious connection to.
The cast includes much of the first season cast; Ruth Wilson, Amir Wilson, Ariyon Bakare, Andrew Scott, Will Keen, Ruta Gedmintas, and Lin-Manuel Miranda. Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Terence Stamp, Jade Anouka, and Simone Kirby are new additions in roles both large and small.
His Dark Materials returns to HBO for season 2 this November.
SYNOPSIS: Debuting this November, the second season of HIS DARK MATERIALS begins after Lord Asriel has opened a bridge to a new world, and, distraught over the death of her best friend, Lyra follows Asriel into the unknown.
